Hyperspectral images contain large amounts of spectral data. An efficient material identification (EMI) process can incorporate methods which reduce the amount of spectra analyzed in a hyperspectral image and interpret the ...

Seventeen electromagnetic transient soundings were done on the lower east flank of Kilauea volcano, Hawaii. Each sounding is based on the response or the earth as a function of time to a step function of current in a ...

Twenty-one Schlumberger resistivity soundings were performed on the island of Maui. Analysis consisted of one-dimensional modeling using an automatic ridge-regression inversion algorithm (Anderson, 1979). The inversion ...

Exploration for geothermal resources in Hawaii has required adaptation of conventional exploration techniques as well as the implementation of relatively new techniques because of the complexities introduced by the oceanic ...

Here we present shoreline change rates for the beaches of southeast Oahu, Hawaii using recently developed polynomial methods to assist coastal managers in planning for erosion hazards and to provide an example for ...

Two reef systems off south Molokai, Hale O Lono and Hikauhi, show differences in modern ecosystem structure and Holocene accretion history that reflect the influence of wave-induced near-bed shear stresses on reef development ...

Carbonate sand on the sea floor is an important component of the geology and ecology of nearshore fringing reefs on Oahu, Hawai'i. Sands also playa key role as a dynamic influence on bathymetry through their interplay ...

The shape of a deep seismic zone is thought to represent that of the descending slab of the lithosphere. The lithosphere before subduction is a spherical cap, and the shape of the descending slab is the result of the ...
